Who We Are

The Barcelona Women's Network is a non-profit, non-religious, and non-political social and charitable organization offering support and friendship to both local and international women residing in the greater Barcelona area.

Started by a small group of friends in 1998, the BWN has emerged into a dynamic and diverse group with an average membership of about 250 from over 30 different nationalities.

Its purpose is to: 

• foster friendships and goodwill among women of all nations
• encourage a greater cultural understanding of the many facets of life in Barcelona and Catalonia
• showcase the goods and services of business members and provide professional networking   
• give back to the community through fundraising for a variety of local charities, which focus on women's and children's interests. 

The BWN is also an active member of FAWCO, a non-partisan and not-for-profit organization, with over 75 member clubs representing more than 15,000 individuals throughout the world. Every month, members enjoy exclusive invitations to a diverse offering  of social, educational, cultural, charitable, and professional events. They have access to an online forum, reviews and recommendations, and the business directory, which showcases services provided by other members.
